Nobody talking about whether or not okc will give PG the max. I mean to be that high above the luxury tax and still be knocked out of first round, year after year is not something ownership wants. They cheapednout on harden by a few mill
 
They need a forward and center who can play defense and rebound. Gotta go after Aaron Gordon in the offseason. Maybe see if you can get Noel for cheap?
 
I guess they'd have to do booker at 2 and Luka at 3? Was jackson playing much at 4? Hmm could kind of leave jackson hanging if he can't play the 4 or if they want someone like Gordon

They definitely need defense for booker and Luka
 
With Booker and Luka dont necessarily need a traditional point guard. I think they'll be the backcourt from day 1 if Luka is the pick.

Since both will get blown by on a daily basis, best to have the entire frontcourt defensive minded
 
Jamal Crawford opting out of his $4.5M contract for 2018-19 now has Minnesota with $117M in salary (including the OKC 1st), $6M below the luxury tax. The Timberwolves can create $4.9M in additional flexibility if they waive Cole Aldrich by June 30. The center has $2.05M in salary protection. Crawford has non-bird rights and Minnesota is restricted to $5.19M in the first year they can offer the guard. Minnesota does have the $8.6M midlevel and $3.4M biannual exception available but using more than $5.29M of the midlevel would hard cap the team.

Guard Jimmy Butler has stressed to management that he wants Crawford to remain in Minnesota by any means necessary, sources said.
